lol Fun fact: you automatically know what licking a thing feels like just by looking at it. Try it! Look at any object in your room and imagine what it would feel like to lick it. Then, do it. You'll see what I mean.

People might experience this very differently, but if you are a bit like me, one-night stands are really fucking boring. It's really not satisfying at all. The best sex is when you build up an intimate relationship and have sex with the same person frequently. That's where the real fun is. Simply, go somewhere where you can meet girls. When you have more interaction with women, you will start to find what works for you. - Be intuitive - Don't be creepy - Don't talk down other men or make stupid remarks about women - Be funny. If you are naturally really unfunny (as I am), just show them some good memes or videos of stupid animals or babies or something. You don't have to be a standup comedian. - Go with the social flow. You don't have to be extraverted or talkative, just be you and have fun. Maybe gossip a little or something, but in a good way. That will show that you understand social situations. - Open up about stuff you are comfortable with sharing. You can start building a close relationship in just a few hours if she's open to it. - When you're ready to get flirty, say stuff like "you smell good" etc. Make a good eye-contact. Here you can also stand or sit physically closer to her. This has worked pretty okay for me. I've always relied mostly on social and emotional intuition. You sense it quite quickly if she's into you.

@Vivaldo There is nothing in death that cannot be in life. I don't say that as if I knew what death is, but because I know what life is. A boundless dream. You are as free to live in joy as you are to commit suicide.

Deconstruct the concept of "stupidity"

@Epikur @Scholar Welp, it seems that I was pretty fucking wrong

? What Nahm said. You may right now reach for any perspective that feels better. In doing so, you see the untruth and "heaviness" of that thought you previously held true. Choosing another thought is completely effortless.

Okay, that's true. I gave a bad argument. But I don't really see any other reason why masculinity would be mentioned in that manner there. There is no problem with "feminine weak men" in China. Do you see any feminist LGBTQ+ rights movement there? Many "kill all men" posters flying around? It has to be mentioned precisely because they want to be seen as more powerful. They are pushing the buttons of the fear regarding cultural progression in western world, in other words, right-wing. I think they are trying to create more political polarization in the west.

By "stupid fearful americans" I meant the right-wing. Who do you think China would like to see leading the US? Trump or Biden?

Modern war isn't a bunch of cavemen figuring out who is the biggest testosterone blob. I bet the reason that doucment points out masculinity is that it makes the stupid fearful americans poop their pants. There is a bigger problem here than the gays and theys in the army.

I'd like to hear this from someone who has personally gone through that leap. What were the main "insights" or realizations that lead to this? What were the pitfalls of stage Yellow in your experience? How did your beliefs or perspectives on certain concepts such as the ego, spirituality, philosophy, society, enlightenment, mind and emotion change in this process?

Whaaat. I think there might even be several people on the forum quite solid on Turquoise. I feel like many people see Turquoise as full transpersonal stage. Like Ramana Maharshi, Buddha, Rupert Spira etc. But it isn't. This is Tier 3, not Turquoise. Or am I misunderstanding something here?

I wouldn't call that enlightenment.

There needs to be direct and clear communication between the workers and the manager. What if you just go and talk with the manager? Literally just explain what you see happening, that there is two different value systems having a battle. Don't mention the hierarchical nature of it. Mention the main differences between Green and Orange. Do you resonate with Yellow? There is a chance you can create a powerful relationship with the manager. If you explain your perspective in a clear, rational way, he might see the potential in you to help create a bridge between the manager and the workers, creating a more functional workplace. Be like a diplomat.

@Seed How often do you drink and how many glasses exactly? Only wine? Can you easily stop after one glass or do you feel a need to 'get to' a certain level of being drunk?

"Ego" and "egoic desire" are projections of the ego-mind. How about that? My dear friend don't expect me to sustain for you in grief Don't expect anything from be but happiness intoxication and good times since God created us only for this I wreck logic and fight a sober mind - Rumi

At least a bit on that stage. Had a psychotic episode about a year ago that pretty much forced me to really take a look on how the mind constructs lived reality.

I love how every time there is a conversation on femininity, masculinity, gender or sexuality on the forum, Emerald is there speaking her truth like some force of nature.

These Red Pill philosophies are always so fixated on roles and social constructions. They seem to be looking through conventional goggles. Like solar plexus energy. I think a woman with an open Heart is a game of their own.

... so hard that you invented a concept called "tripping" so that you can have some relative ground on what the fuck we are even talking about and not just being literally nothing never happening, and not even that.

Yes, but I think that what is presented here is essentially just worry about 'a me not being able to surrender'. As if it was an act one does not want to do. This thought-story can be let go.

I don't understand what you are asking.

Ohmigod I've always wondered what people here look like. Didn't know this thread existed. Here's my beautiful face:

A lot of people seem to stress this idea of "facing your fear" and "surrendering", as if fear was this monster you need to slay sooner or later. I don't find that helpful. The idea that you should surrender, that you need to face your fears, in itself 'assumes' the fear / obstacle being something actual. As if there was 'something there', when in fact there is not, but only in imagination. There is no hurry. It's okay to be afraid. What is to be let go is the belief that you need to surrender, and damn you if you don't.

You got a problem called fascism, my friend.
